I'll have to rent a car on Saturday, and this is my first time actually doing a rental so...

Options are...

Hertz

Enterprise

Budget

Avis

Anyone one company better (cheaper) than the other?

Don't ride with Teddy unless you can tread water!

I just rented from Budget a few weeks ago.  Be sure to verify when the check in time is, if you are a smidge late, you are charged another day automatically.  I've heard it happen to others, so its the first thing I ask.

Also, investigate the insurances.  I always get their insurance for liabilty although I suspect my GEICO policy would cover me.  If you really dont want to spend the $20, call your insurer and ask what you should do.

I used to be stationed out of Otis (1991-1993) in Security Police.  Fun times!  The commute from North Shore (Beverly, Mass) to the Cape was always a long one during the summer months.

Is it 1-way or round trip? Avis most expensive either scenario, likely Hertz or Budget---I hated Enterprise when I was traveling, they often don't have offices AT the airport, and they tended to have bankers hours, which can cost you an extra days rental.

I’ve always gone with whoever was the cheapest; usually Budget or Enterprise.  Most insurance companies will cover you in a rental.  You should call and find out though; then you will always know.  Inspect the car before you sign off; I’ve never had a company try and charge me for every little flaw but I’ve heard that they do sometimes.  As far as their insurance goes, I think they make more off of selling the additional insurance than anything else.  If you want to be reckless and beat the snot out of a car it would be a very well spent $20.
